Kristi -- I have read that the Rainbow allows a lot of dirt to pass through
the water reservoir and back out into the building. I believe Consumer
Reports and others have done research on this. Instead, I would recommend
a Nilfisk, Miele, or other vacuum with a HEPA filter. The current issue of
Consumer Reports compares 5 such vacuums.

Kristi --
This may not be possible with such short notice, but we use a Rainbow
vacuum to clean the floors in storage areas. It has a water
reservoir that traps the dust and dirt so you can remove it from the
building. They are not cheap - we paid almost $1200 several years
ago - but they are wonderful for keeping floors and walls clean without
introducing a bucket of mop water into your storage area. Good luck.
